ozma914) wrote2026-05-12 06:37 pmIt's photo Wednesday again, or whatever day you happen to be reading and I happen to be posting. Staying on a schedule has turned out to be harder than I thought, especially since I'm editing one book and still working on the first draft of another.
It was the same in this case. (I was stopped!) I had already brought out my phone to get the car ahead of me, when I saw an Avilla Fire truck go by and tried to get them both in the frame. Which is dumb.
(By the way, these were all taken at least a couple of years ago, so ignore the license plates.)

| Elvis has stopped for Starbucks! |
 |
This truck, you'll agree, can go for hundreds of miles with that spare tank on its back.
|
 |
| A pretty much normal car, but as I was photographing it, it was photographing me. |
 |
| I was parked right outside my job as I arrived for my shift. I didn't bother to ask the other dispatchers if anyone could afford it. |
 |
| This was apparently just being used as a passenger car. I never saw the driver, so I can't tell you if it's his or hearse. |
 |
| Emily and I both like camping, so I showed her this. But she said no. |

Most of the icons wanted to end up blue/purple/pastel so it was fun trying to make them not be, but I do feel like the whole set did end up being in those colours,lol. They are free to take and use. Comments are loved.

Science profiled Hany Farid, a researcher in digital forensics at the University of California, Berkeley.
An interesting guide in the middle shows how simple geometry can expose a fake image. For example, in the generated image above, the lines connecting the figure to the reflection of the figure should converge at the same point. The lines are off, so the image is fake.
This lesson should be useful for about a week. Maybe a month? It seems that in the not too distant future, we won’t be able to find things that are off with just our eyes. So I’m glad there are people like Farid aiming to make it more difficult to fake reality.

Happy Wednesday!
The allergies have started! I was honestly surprised. Normally, I can tell when they’re coming on, but I think it’s all taken us by the surprise (at least in my office).
As a reminder, I’m doing this event at Lovestruck next Wednesday. If you attend, please come up and say hi after the chat.
